2024 map of cartel presence

[Gary Lee]

I have found Cabo to be safe for the last 40 years. Not so much in other areas of Mexico I have visited (which is limited). Glean what you want from this.  Other maps show differing areas.

1. Sinaloa Cartel (Red): Predominantly controls areas in the northwest, including Sonora, Sinaloa, and parts of Baja California.
2. Jalisco New Generation Cartel (Turquoise): Has significant influence in Jalisco, Colima, and Michoacán, extending into parts of Guanajuato and Guerrero.
3. Gulf Cartel (Green): Operates mainly in the northeastern states such as Tamaulipas and parts of Nuevo León.
4. Northeast Cartel (Orange): Found in parts of Coahuila and Nuevo León.
5. La Familia (Brown): Controls areas in Michoacán and some parts of neighboring states.
6. Juarez Cartel/La Linea (Yellow): Primarily active in Chihuahua and parts of neighboring states.

·       Disputed Territory (Purple): Areas where control is contested between different cartels or local groups.

·       Low Cartel Activity (Light shading): Regions with minimal or no significant cartel presence.
